Decorating a baby’s room can be very exciting, but also a bit daunting; with so many ideas out there, it’s really hard to know where to begin. Use our décor ideas to pick a theme, colour and wallpaper pattern to create a room that will be perfect and comfortable for both your baby boy and you.
First things first, decide on a theme. From Safari and pirates to cars and sailboats, there are so many nursery motifs sure to give your boy’s nursery a standout style. And whichever theme you decide on, you can find the perfect wallpaper baby nursery design to tie the room together. But do not focus on walls solely, take it up a notch and bring your idea to life in multiple dimensions by incorporating various elements.
Let’s say you decide to go with a sailboat nursery. Make sure the décor stays cohesive, from crib mobile and bedding to area rug and curtains. Of course, you can always go for something more simple such as accenting off-white nursery furniture with timeless sailboat retro style wallpaper and few playful prints.
Second, decide on the colour. Wallpaper design that is. Do you want deep ink blue or are more leaning towards a powder or baby blue? Creamy wallpaper baby nursery is the trend now. Softer colour and subtle tones are soothing and you can easily lullaby baby to sleep.
Third, make it personal. Both before and after your baby boy is born, one of the best ways to make his room feel welcoming is to personalize it. Use artwork or decorative pillows with your baby’s initials, photos, etc.
Photos are a simple yet great way to make the room more intimate – frame a photo of you during pregnancy and once your baby is born, choose some of your favorite brand-new-baby photos, print them in large size, put them in a frame and then hang them in a row on the wall. For a more eclectic design, mix some black-and-white childhood photos of your husband and you.
Fourth, plan ahead. Start by drawing a floor plan for your nursery. When deciding where to place the furniture, start with the crib since much of the activity in the room will be centered around it. Make sure you don’t place your crib near a window or heat source, because temperature fluctuations can make your baby uncomfortable. The changing table, dresser and other items should be arranged in a way to ensure it is convenient and easy for you to get around.
